I want to remove the cappings on my new Ninety to get them galvanised since the painting on these newer Defenders seems a bit rubbish. Evidently I will need to remove the roof, but I am wondering whether I will need to replace the seals between the top of the windscreen and the roof and those...

We all know whoever has the biggest Land Rover wins :D

In any case, The good: - It has only done 56,000 kms (34,000 miles) from new, and so the overall condition is excellent. - No rust in chassis or bulkhead. - All electrics work. - Owner was an enthusiast and serviced it regularly. - Custom breathers fitted to diffs, gearbox and petrol tank - De...

Well... I've figured out how to make the images big, but they seem to have turned out huge! It's too hard for me.

I have upgraded, and this one is a keeper: 1996 300Tdi Ninety. The main decider was that it has only done 56,000kms (34,000 miles for you Brits) from new.

There are no holes in the bumper, but if that is all you need to fit them then I can drill some.

Hello all, Just wondering whether the rubber bumper end caps that come on the new Defenders will fit on older ones as well, or is the metal part of the bumper different on the new models? Has anyone fitted them on an older Defender? Thanks,

You should enter the LRO/Britpart calendar competition; you've got lots of great photos to choose from.

Ever since I went on a very dusty trip a while back I have had an issue with the engine in my Ninety lacking power - particularly at high revs. It now struggles to get up to the speed limit and feels like it is being held back by something. It was exhibiting a symptom of surging also. I...

I would love one like that in really original condition. It looks fantastic: enjoy!

You can make lots of modifications which may slightly improve fuel economy, but the difference will probably be so small that it will take years and years before you break even via savings on fuel due to the cost of the original modifications. However, certain modifications can improve...

Looks pretty good to me, but I know from your previous build thread how high your standards are. :) Very much enjoying this thread so far, thanks for posting.

Great to see a Td5 rebuild for a change (as opposed to 200/300Tdi) and everyone likes to see a nice new galvanised chassis being built up. Have you thought about getting a galvanised bulkhead and cappings too? They always rust even if well painted and I always thought if I was putting in all...

If the new photos from Land Rover are anything to go by, looks like we have another Evoque on our hands. Land Rover Discovery Vision Concept (New York 2014) Autonews.fr I think the Discovery 4 may sadly be the last of the great Discovery, in the same way the Range Rover L322 was far...

This looks like a stunner. Forget about modifying it (except for a couple of sensible things as suggested above. I will probably worth a fortune in the future. Perhaps some extended seat rails would be a good starting point for mods? (Before you stick it on a galvanised chassis and do...

A late model Td5 (with the later engine) is want I want as the basis for my future project: a completely rust proof (galvanised chassis, bulkhead, cappings etc) Ninety hard -top/station wageon. The one you've got looks really nice (I love the look of a standard Ninety) and your one will look...

Looks great, and the chassis will never rust!:) Are you planning on getting all the tother rust spots (cappings, bulkhead etc.) galvanised too at some point? They do tend to rust quickly on these vehicles, no matter how well primed and painted they are unfortunately.

I had a rev counter fitted a few months ago. I had it done at an autoelectrician and got my dash tidied up at the same time (I posted some pics on here at the time). My alternator didn't have the w terminal fitted so the autoelectrician had to do that at the same time. Unfortunately, the...

Great to see the beginnings of another build. The Ninety looks good even before you've started so I'm really looking forward to seeing it go through the works.
